Proposal for merging edu.k.o, games.k.o, multimedia.k.o, and utils.k.o into apps.k.o
(copied from Phabricator, updated)
So as I can see, the 3 websites that are equivalent to categories of our apps, edu.k.o
, multimedia.k.o
, and utils.k.o
, are still alive and really outdated, even though we already have some other plans for them. The other category-equivalent one, games.k.o
, although has been ported to Jekyll, I think can still be improved.
What I'd like to propose here is to merge these 4 sites into apps.k.o
, then they can go away. Steps are:
- Convert their text data to Hugo data in yaml/json/xml format. This has no problem with handling data in other languages (in other words, translations, which seems to be one issue for
edu.k.o
andutils.k.o
)
-
games.k.o
: !65 (merged) -
edu.k.o
: b1180ff7 -
multimedia.k.o
: no data to be converted -
utils.k.o
: !69 (merged) -
Implement i18n for data in hugo-i18n
: hugo-i18n@c4e440a5 and hugo-i18n@7ebb88b8
- Make equivalent category pages on
apps.k.o
represent their home pages (e.g.apps.k.o/games
would resemblegames.k.o/index.html
). Currently,apps.k.o
category pages only list apps in the corresponding categories, so adding some data from those home pages would be better for them
-
games.k.o
: !65 (merged) -
edu.k.o
: 5bbc338d -
multimedia.k.o
: the old home page only listed apps, so no need to make any change to multimedia category page -
utils.k.o
: nothing from the old home page needs to be added
- Add suitable data from their (i.e. category-equivalent sites') app pages into
apps.k.o
's corresponding app pages (e.g.games.k.o/games/picmi
data would be added toapps.k.o/picmi
). I haven't checked with all 4 sites, but at least forgames.k.o
, the information on an app page, which is some guidance on the target of a game and how to play it, can be added after the download section on the corresponding app page onapps.k.o

games.k.o
: !65 (merged) -
edu.k.o
: b1180ff7 -
multimedia.k.o
: no data to be added -
utils.k.o
: nothing to be added
- Possibly make sub-category pages on
apps.k.o
for sub-categories of apps, such as arcade, board, card, etc. for games, or mathematics, science, etc. for edu apps
-
games.k.o
: no pages, only sections on thegames
category page !65 (merged) -
edu.k.o
: no pages, only sections on theeducation
category page 5bbc338d -
multimedia.k.o
: no sub-categories -
utils.k.o
: no pages, only sections on theutilities
category page dbe1e348
- Make redirections from those sites' pages to
apps.k.o
pages
-
games.k.o
: games-kde-org!5 (merged) -
edu.k.o
: Ben added redirections to the server config -
multimedia.k.o
: Ben added redirections to the server config multimedia-kde-org!1 (closed) -
utils.k.o
: utils-kde-org!1 (merged)
- Archive them
-
games.k.o
-
edu.k.o
-
multimedia.k.o
-
utils.k.o
How do you think?
